"28 being 4 * 7, 2 holy numbers in the Lakota Way, 28 is, too. We're growing, & this is good."
"Interesting this should happen when U.S. political history - & perhaps, world political history too - are being made with the election of a mixed-blood, Barack Obama, to the U.S. Presidency & a white man, Joe Biden, to the U.S. Vice-Presidency, instead of the other way around. And, they got elected by a landslide margin with few (no?) questions of legality in the vote-counting and tabulating as happened in 2000 & 2004. I see this as a major shift toward the "good" end of the scale, and I pray it means we all are going to see new "good"s happening in / to the world we share."
"Mitakuye oiasin - All (are) my relatives, after all."
"The early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators Awards is Friday, January 23, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today."
The community notes reaching the number 28 and connects that count to 4 × 7, two sacred numbers in the Lakota Way, viewing growth as positive. The election of Barack Obama, described as mixed-blood, to the U.S. Presidency and Joe Biden, a white man, to the Vice-Presidency is portrayed as a historic moment won by landslide margins with few legal disputes compared to 2000 and 2004. That outcome is interpreted as a major shift toward the "good" end of the scale, accompanied by prayers for forthcoming positive changes worldwide. The text closes with "Mitakuye oiasin — All (are) my relatives," and includes a reminder about an early-rate deadline for Fast Company's awards.
